Calls for wildlife to be protected at old harbour

A COMMUNITY group has called for better protection of nature at Barry's old harbour amid concerns jet skiers and “irresponsible dog walkers" are affecting wildlife there.

- 

Barry Action for Nature and hundreds of residents have called on Vale of Glamorgan Council to turn the site, which is to the east of the Harbour Road car park on Barry Island, into a local nature reserve.

The local authority has two main local nature reserves. These are Cosmeston Lakes Country Park and Porthkerry Country Park.

Vale council said it is looking into the possibility of making the old harbour and several other locations local nature reserves.
